Happy Thursday!!Time is just FLYING by this week. It must be all the fun times Jacob and I are having chasing squirrels. There are an awful lot of those pesky things this year so we all need to be vigilant in keeping our yards free from these bird food eating critters!!This week we are thankful for our ability to hunt squirrels!

This week I want to say a big thank you to two of my new friends. Maggie Mae, who is the most awesome boxer and is such a fun friend and Chewy, the cutest little Shih Tzu with a little bit of attitude that is also Anna the GSD's boyfriend!! If you haven't met these two yet, go over and say hi!!They both gave me the most cool new award!!!

Of course.....there are rules...always the rules....

1. Thank the puppy, kitty or person who gave it to you. - Check

2. Share 7 things about yourself. I have decided to share this with Bilbo, Jacob and Mama. All us puppies will take 2 things and Mama can have the last extra thing.

Dory

1. I am on that four letter word that starts with D and ends with T and has an i-e in the middle. Mama thinks I may be overdoing the cookies, of course SHE is the one that gives them to ME.

2. I may not ALWAYS get along with my new brother Jacob, I am having a little bit of trouble sharing my Daddy with him. But we are all adjusting together.

Bilbo

3. I have a small eating disorder that we are trying to control. I binge when I can...but then I don't eat for a day or two, Mama says we will be "talking to the V-E-T" during my good boy visit next month. I am looking for a good hiding place now....any ideas??

4. I secretly like my little big brother Jacob. I have only had to raise my voice to him once in the past 6 days and he pretty much keeps his nose out of my butt. Dory is right, we are all adjusting .

Jacob

5. I like to wander. My new hoomas have to watch me very carefully cause if I am not connected to my string or in our backyard I will just wander off and pretend I cannot hear anybody calling me. Mama said something about training...does anyone know what that is??? Should I be scared???

6. I L-O-V-E my new pack. My big sister is like the BESTEST squirrel huntress EVER!!! My big brother is teaching me how to snoopervise the humans and let me tell you we have the biggest, comfiest pack bed EVER (Mama says it is KING size and does anyone know if there is a bigger size cause her and Daddy can hardly fit in it anymore)!!!

The Mama

7. I am getting ready to jump in and get my college degree after 25+ years of procrastinating.

I am so looking forward to the learning...but am concerned about spending 3-6 hours 2-3 days a week with 18-22 year olds...Should I be scared???

3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and you think are fantastic!!

OK....only 15, REALLY???

We are going to be rebels here cause:

a-looks like alot of our friends already received this award

and

b-I can't just pick 15 out of all my friends

So please take this award and know that we are so very thankful to have you as friends!

Mama says this is a "Cop -Out" but I say phewy to Mama!!

I, Dory, say I am part Sibe like Khyra and Sibes do not HAVE to follow rules!

Mama is giggling for some reason, I have floof on my tail like Khyra Mama, I must be part Sibe!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mama and I have been trying to think of a way to tell you all about Jacob, and finally we thought that I could interview him! Maybe Star could feature the article in the "Pretty Kitty and Buffy Puppy Magazine".

First a little background :

Mama and Daddy have been in cahoots to get me and Bilbo a sibling for like the past year. They were planning on getting a little puppy lhasa, but the timing never seemed right. Then Found Frankie Puppy changed everything...Mama and Daddy saw how much fun I was having with Frankie and how Bilbo didn't mind TOO much. So as soon as they found Frankie's family they knew that the best thing they could do was look at Petfinder and see if they could find a puppy that needed a furrever home.

When they looked, they saw a cute little Lhasa/Shitzu mix that was only 4 months old and emailed the rescue place where he was staying right away. The rescue place sent out the home visit lady and Mama, Daddy, Bilbo and Me were all approved and we could go and meet this puppy on Saturday (last Saturday).

This is Bodie...and he was almost my brother. He was friendly, outgoing, and we were VERY close to bringing him home.

and then we met Buddy who is now Jacob. The rescue lady suggested we just take him for a walk. Daddy walked him over to the grass and the first thing he did was start giving Daddy kisses....it was all over from there.....Don't tell him, but Jacob is a pretty cool little brother. He is more relaxed than Bodie cause he is three years old and not a little puppy, he doesn't sniff me all the time and he does some great zoomies!! Mama says he is totally house broken (that means he doesn't "go" in the house like my OTHER brother).

But on to the interview!!!

Dory: First things first Jacob. Why Jacob??? Why not Spot or Freckles or maybe another dog name??

Jacob: Oh Dory...you know our humans...anything movie or TV. In this case I believe they think I have touched them and changed their lives just like my namesake Jacob on Lost.

Dory: Well at least you weren't name after a FISH

Bilbo: or a HOBBIT!!

Dory: This is my interview Bilbo...go eat your dinner!! So...Jacob, how did you end up staying with your friends at Mixed Breed Rescue??

Jacob; Well Dory, for some reason my last family said there was something wrong with my personality. Frankly, I think I was just too well behaved for them!

Dory: Jacob...how did you know how to win over Daddy's heart with the kisses and letting him rub your tummy??

Jacob: Like you Dory, I could just feel what Daddy needed. That is why I am here!

Dory: What about Mama??

**Dory and Jacob break out in doggy giggles**

Jacob: Do I really need to answer that??? She is like such a pushover!!!

Dory: I know...I don't know why I even asked...that was a good giggle tho!! What do you think of your new house??

Jacob: A big couch to sleep in, a real bed to snuggle with you, Mr. B and humans in and a BIG BACKYARD to chase sqirr....

Dory: JACOB...you do know it is MY Backyard RIGHT??

Jacob: Yeah but Mama says you have to share

Dory:Yeah but you are scaring all the.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Mama: I interrupt this interview because a time out was needed on both sides. I just want to say that having Jacob in our home is like he has always been here. He and Dory really get along and Bilbo is adjusting...slowly but surely.
